>> >> a powerful outside compliance director is now set

to oversee the oakland police department. >> reporter: this story dates back to 2000 when 119 citizens sued the oakland police department accusing police officers for making false arrests and planting phony evidence between 1996 and 2000. three years later, a settlement was reached, calling for 51 reforms of the police department. the plaintiffs then claimed the reforms weren't being met fast enough. so they sought a federal receiver to oversee the police department. last week, all sides agreed to instead appoint a compliance director to oversee the reforms. the city of oakland released a statement on the judge's approval of bringing in a compliance director saying "with this signed order, we look forward to continued and enhanced collaboration with the court." an attorney who pushed hard for a compliance director

says he's pleased. he says this allows the federal judge to have more control over the police department. the compliance director will have the power to demote or fire the police chief. this person will also set an action plan for carrying out several reforms, are including the reduction of incidents of unnecessary force and racial profiling, and improving investigations of citizen complaints. the attorney says the difference between federal receivership and a compliance director is that a receiver could hire and fire anyone. in this case, the director's powers to impose discipline is limited to command staff of the police department. the compliance director also can't spend money as freely as a receiver. the director will have to get approval from a judge to spend money. >> reporter: both sides meaning the city of oakland and the attorneys representing the citizen of the original lawsuit have been ordered by the judge to submit their recommendations for candidates for the position by december 21st.
